“This is the media making a big ado about nothing.”
Not in this case.
Giulliani was dead wrong to say that restricting muslim refugees from entering the country is a 1st Amendment issue.
Per existing law, a president can restrict the entry of any foreigner he wants, for whatever reason he wants, or for no reason at all. By definition, they have no protection or rights under our Constitution.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say ANY reason - but the law is pretty broad:
“Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
